Penguins: November 2018
- Thread starter DocEER
- Start date
F'n eh!!! Have a great time at the game...hoping our boys have turned the corner here and give you and the young lad plenty to cheer about! LGP! LGM!
Seriously? I feel for the guy with these nonstop injuries but he's made of pure glass apparently! It's to the point of bizarre now...
HT to all, especially t......who should have the right to celebrate this Thursday holiday along with the rest of us drunks. And Doc, my fingers remain crossed for a favorable solution to your recent concerns.
Meanwhile, after that awful 24 hours we had to deal with last weekend.....football and basketball plus the Pens (at least the Steelers won, barely).....maybe the Lord can give us some payback tomorrow against the Broons and Sooners.
Now THAT would be a pretty good day !!

I still think this team needs another shakeup... perhaps murray on ir and having two young goalies will pull them together for awhile.
still waiting on the arrival of daniel sprong... perhaps he gets moved next...
the pearson trade looks great right now. I like the size he brings. he's not slow either. I'll have two tv's rocking for the bruins/sooners friday.

I loved me some Carl H, especially on the PK, but Pearson has more offensive punch than Carl and appears willing to attempt to play D.
Just read a day-old report from DK theorizing that Murray might be dealing with a broken foot.....an injury said to be elusive to treat early in the process, with players often trying to play through the issue in advance of additional X-Ray diagnosis.
I sure hope the cuirrent issue is something like that; because I freely admit my own initital thoughts were the team trumped up this LBI as a smokescreen.....and finally decided to just ship him back to Thunder Bay to work out what appear to be continuing concerns (for me, at least) between his ears.
But even if true, I worry the team should maybe start coming to serious grips.....though exactly how, I'm not sure.....with this becoming-more-apparent-by-the-month reality the kid is borderline-shockingly fragile physically, and may be someone they simply can't count on over the long haul.

The boy has already scored a new Sid sweater. Going to get him a Jake one at the arena (hopefully they have them).

I pulled a dad of the year and was able to get Jake to take a quick pose with the kiddo. Mission partially accomplished.
nice response by the pens after harrington's goal.
I think pittsburgh is starting to like this pearson guy.

My boy is Jakes good luck charm. Hat trick while in the building. We also made the TV broadcast right after the 3rd one. We also caught a t shirt that was tossed during first intermission.
Great memories for the lad! Awesome! Good job Dad!
Well, that's 5 points in the last 3 games.....might not put them back with the Cup favorites, but it's a damned site better than 9 losses in 10 games. Might have been one of their 3 best efforts if the season tonight.
Also, nice to see Jake have the big night......

FWIW, the Pens play at Winnipeg tomorrow night with the Jets coming in at 2-2-0 in their last four, whch means they're hardly red hot. Of course, those four games were on the road; prior to that road trip, the Jets were 3-0-1 in their previous four at home.
Meanwhile, the Pens are in Colorado on Wednesday; hardly the most desirable back-to-back coming off the previous night in Winnipeg. Fortunately, the schedule makers didn't do the Avalanche any favors either, with a game in Nashville while the Pens are in Winnipeg.
Coming into their game with the Preds, the 'lanche are on a 4 game winning streak (the first 3 which were on the road).

Whoa, Flyers fire Ron Hextall.....
Guess ownership finally decided they wanted more old-time Flyers (especially after getting tattooed by the Laffs) than what Hextall is/was willing to give them. Additionally, there apparently is/was thought to be some disagreement with Hextall's uber-conservative handling of goaltending prospect Carter Hart.
Several names are initially being thrown around as a possible replacements; since he's obviously not replacing GMJR anytime soon, I assume they'd at least talk to Billy Guerin. However, if they insist on someone with previous GM experience, I wonder if someone like Jerky Burky (Brian Burke) might be more Paul Holmgren's type.
Meanwhile, the Canadiens have apparently cut their losses on Karl Alzner......released today.

The number one thing that comes to mind when I think about those LOSERS over the last 2 or 3 decades is their complete ineptitude in finding a suitable netminder...I can't think of a single one who was anything other than half decent for a year or two. That's abysmal...and I guess they pray Hart is the answer although I have my doubts...former goalie as GM and even he couldn't find a guy or put enough emphasis on it. When you're screwballin around with Elliot as your starter for round one of playoff last year wtf does that say? That asshat town deserves the Cryers franchise over the years, fits like a glove.
Good luck with the Broad Street Bullies approach too...lemme know how that all shakes out ya Gritty tools...

Well ole ass grabbin Claude is performing but they get absolute zilch from their D and goalies...as usual. Fine with me...
I was referring to them still trying to be the braod street bullies...
Cut em some slack...they're known as 'Friendly Manitoba', although after hearing this I'm not quite sure in what way?
If these are the Jets third jerseys btw the marketing/design crew needs firing...what a bore.
ZAR!!! Here are the foot soldiers I was whining about! Keep it up!
